Christian radio in Okanagan?

On June 4, CHRV-FM submitted an application with the CRTC for a new Christian radio service aimed at Okanagan residents. The application was heard by the CRTC October 30, along with several others.

CHRV promises a wide variety of Christian music including Contemporary Christian, Praise and Worship and Southern Gospel, as well as children’s and youth-oriented programming.  

CHRV would not be tied to any particular church and promises to be a resource for Christians from a variety of age groups, background, ethnicity and denominations. 

CHRV-FM is seeking support with a letter that can be sent from their website. Contact: www.in-house.ca/CHRV.html.

The House

November 4 at 10 am is the launch time of a new satellite. As it happens, however, there will be no blast into space. This particular launch marks the opening of ‘The House,’ a satellite ministry of Evangel Church – intended to serve the Airport/University and North Kelowna neighbourhoods.
